AuthorTopic: CUPS missing file (Read 6555 times)

I have install VL 5.8 standard Gold on my old Dell laptop, everything is working except printing.My printer is a network printer. I have tried to set it up via CUPS but it says it's missing a file called "libldap-2.3.so" can not open shared object. Other issues, when I try to update CUPS it says it needs gnutls >=1.6 so I can't update. What other possibilities do I have for printing from a network printer?Thanks

thanks for your reply. I uninstalled cups and then reinstalled it, all files are there now.I am now trying to configure my printer via a web browser and I am stuck on the device protocol selection.I have a Linksys print server with the local address of 192.168.0.100. What protocol works with VL?Thanks--

Thanks to everyone who replied.The socket: configuration worked faster than the lpd setting in terms of printing a test page, but I can't seem to get it to print via any of the apps. In the text editor I see the printer listed, choose it, click print and nothing gets sent to the printer. Is this a permission issue?------a little later-------I changed the settings to: ipp://192.168.0.100/ipp/and now I can print from Abiword but not my text editors, any ideas?Thanks.

Check to see that you're sending it to the correct printer, via the print options. ALso if this is the only printer, you might want to check/consider making it the default printer, and all apps will then use it (should, depending on their configuration).
